Ugh the climate deniers seem to be successfully intimidating the National Academies so that it keeps climate science out of the information it provides as expert assistance to judges. Scientists who provide research for oil and gas liability cases can produce unbiased work, for god's sake.
The big new clean energy transmission project, called CHPE, is CRANKING rn. It’s delivering 1,250 megawatts of electricity into NYC’s grid => lower bills & less pollution. Meanwhile, will we see a single mainstream media outlet credit clean energy w/ keeping the lights on?!?!
Here's a better link where you can take action to let mainstream media know that they need to stop climate silence and connect the dots between extreme weather and "natural" disasters and the fossil-fuel fed climate crisis.
Hey Mainstream News: We're in a Climate Crisis
Major news outlets often fail to name the connection between extreme weather and climate. Demand mainstream news tell the full truth about how climate change fuels unnatural disasters.

If you're in Sunset Park look out for us as we knock your block! We're organizing against the Gowanus fracked gas plant, which would raise utility bills and add tons of pollution if approved. Our members will be out doorknocking to make sure @governor.ny.gov stops the proposal.
🧊‼️ As ICE ramps up its activities in NY, we are reminding our neighbors of their constitutional rights. We are monitoring ICE’s activity but the most important thing you can do to keep yourself, your family & neighbors safe is to #KnowYourRights. Visit weprotectusny.org to access these resources.
PLEASE SIGN Local Law 97 set the standard for addressing urgent climate goals: lowering energy bills, creating good green jobs, & air pollution reduction. The loophole Adams left allows building owners to clean up their pollution by purchasing unlimited Renewable Energy Credits.(REC) bit.ly/4hJLo6f
On a recent Saturday, the Facing the Future work group hosted a foraging tour of Prospect Park led by renowned naturalist Steve Brill a.k.a the Wildman. About 30 participants learned how to identify edible wild plants, while discovering the surprising abundance of food growing all around us.
Recent analysis confirms NYS faces over $500 billion in costs to adapt to climate change. @repdangoldman.bsky.social and @tomsuozzi.bsky.social are absolutely right that we must protect the Climate Change Superfund Act to ensure NYers don't bear those costs alone. www.nydailynews.com/2026/07/28/s...

WATCH: ProPublica & @drilledmedia.bsky.social found that oil and gas companies have been funding climate research at prestigious US universities for 30+ years. This research fostered a misperception that climate change could be solved without dramatically curtailing fossil fuels: propub.li/3TTgAGp

Dan McCarthy@danmccarthy.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump's Energy Department is taking lazy swipes at solar for not working at night.

NY Gov Kathy Hochul and the msm told me that the NY climate law needed to be repealed because of “affordability”. 🤦🤦🤦 Argh. That wasn’t true even narrowly. And it’s really really really not true if you consider the consequences of not rapidly slashing climate-heating pollution.

NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.
